Marbella Travel Guide
The sweet smell of fresh oranges mingles with coconut suntan lotion in the stylish Costa del Sol town of Marbella. This Andalusian hotspot for the royal and affluent mixes hints of Moorish architecture with luxury hotels, making it the golden city of Spain’s southern coast. It’s an ideal retreat for the elite to let their hair down in this spectacular city that boasts over fifteen miles of gorgeous Mediterranean beaches (25 km). Featured in several films for its beauty and flair for extravagance, Marbella is Spain’s answer to Montecarlo and St. Tropez.
Marbella, along with most of Spain’s southern region of Andalucía, was once under Arab occupation for eight hundred years. In 1485, Spain reclaimed the city but the Arabic flavor lingers in the city’s architecture. The castle of Marbella is a focus of the city’s Old Town district and a testament to the Moorish occupation hundreds of years ago. However, it is the dazzling seaside that has been capturing the attention of the rich and famous since the early 1940s.
Located between the mountains and the sea, Marbella is a paradise for weather. Summers are warm, winters are mild, and the days are filled with endless sunshine. Resorts, villas and hotels offer a wide variety of beachfront activities; snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, horseback riding, golf or tennis, among others. Long considered a playground for royalty, Marbella knows no limit when it comes to entertainment.
With a diverse selection of Spanish and international cuisine, there’s countless bars and restaurants with the top international chefs to tickle any one’s palette. Travelers can enjoy sizzling paella in one of the many elegant restaurants on the Avenida del Mar, overlooking the crystal clear Mediterranean. If it’s shopping you’re after, look no further than the Avenida Ricardo Soriano to quench your thirst for the latest designers and high-end boutiques. And if you’re ready to dance until dawn, Marbella is home to some of the world’s most stylish and chic clubs and bars in the world.
